Researchers analyzed data from 92,000 adults over nearly 7 years and found that certain emulsifiers significantly increased cancer risk: Mono & diglycerides of fatty acids (E471)—found in processed baked goods, margarine, and ice cream—were linked to: 15% higher risk of overall cancer 24% higher risk of breast cancer 46% higher risk of prostate cancer Carrageenan (E407 & E407a)—a thickening agent in dairy alternatives, deli meats, and plant-based products—was linked to: 32% higher risk of breast cancer.
